Kiwi Sangria Popsicles

The championship of the Southern Living  periodical article from which I adapted these popsicles was "Serve a Cocktail on a Stick" ... ummmmmm, okay!  You actually don't demand to twist my arm on that one.

And since these convey kiwi inwards them, I decided they were simply perfect to give a whirl for this month's installment of the Eating the Alphabet challenge - letters K or L.  The master recipe was for white peach sangria pops, alongside a petty splash of kiwi too raspberry ... I decided to change it upwards to hold out simply kiwi with a touching on of raspberry.  I intend you lot could set inwards simply nigh whatsoever fruit you'd like!

Remember these cute petty Dixie newspaper cups?  That's what you'll demand to whip upwards these popsicles.

First mix up roughly white wine, white grape juice, sugar, too fresh lemon juice ... too pour it into the cute petty cups.

Then drib inwards a raspberry too roughly kiwi.

(Optional)
Next, acquire inquisitive nigh the wine-and-fruit combination ... give it a petty taste ... determine it tastes actually expert ... too serve upwards an un-frozen popsicle for the chef.   You know, 'cause this cookin' stuff's stone oil too the chef deserves it.

Then comprehend each loving cup alongside a modest while of aluminum foil too brand a modest slit inwards the middle of the foil alongside a knife ...

 ... too insert a popsicle stick through the slit.

You're laid for the freezer! 

Now ane large tip I tin give is to brand certain you've cleared a spot inwards your freezer to set these before you're standing at that spot alongside the freezer door broad open, ane mitt precariously holding a plate of liquid popsicles, too one-handedly trying to rearrange the entire freezer contents.

I might convey learned that the difficult way.

When you're laid to enjoy your popsicles, simply pare off the newspaper loving cup too bask away!

Mmmmm.  Popsicles are all grown up.
